Home PC will Remote Desktop to Office PC running PCPlus

[GHTROUT]

Scenario:

PC on employer/company network sits in switchroom and runs PCPlus with COM1 connected to PBX TTY and COM2 connected to modem.

Telecom staff with broadband at their residence can make "Remote Desktop" connection via Citrix to the PC with PCPlus in the switchroom.

The idea is to allow admin of main PBX or branch dialup systems without the need of a second line at the employees house. Also provides functionality of Procomm Plus

Question: Assuming all Meridian systems will not/do not have a network connection, is there are better way to duplicate the capabilities this scenario offers?

connect a serial server to a comm port.. i have seen that interface on a cisco router being used by banks for atm's.. it marries a comm port with an ip address and provides access list plus addition passwords if needed

I'v successfully tried logmein free version to gain access from home to a local PC with Procomm connected to the switch.
